Walking on Arran

This guidebook presents a selection of 45 day walks on the popular and accessible Isle of Arran. The routes are between 3 miles (5km) and 14 miles (22.5km) in length. They range in difficulty from easy waymarked forest trails to more arduous mountain walks, exposed ridge routes and scrambles. The book includes both linear and circular walks, and there are opportunities to link routes together and create longer walks across the length and breadth of the island. Also included is the 110km Arran Coastal Way, one of Scotland's Great Trails. Highlights include Goatfell (the island's highest point), Beinn Nuis, Beinn Tarsuinn, the Sannox Horseshoe, Glen Rosa, the Cock of Arran and nearby Holy Isle. All the routes are clearly described with OS mapping, with extra notes revealing the archaeology, history and natural wonders of the island. The guide includes background information on travel to Arran, public transport, and a Gaelic/English glossary.
